After a little bit of investigation i found that adding 30 empty class files adds 1.5mb to the executable https://github.com/rromanchuk/OMGBloat Interestingly enough, concatenating into one file the executable remained at 3mb
Now being tracked by RM http://hipbyte.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RM-652
Looks like this might be "fixed" in RM 2.38?
We won't start hearing about this until feb2015 when arm64 submission will be required, but I think it's a serious problem we should address now.
How to reproduce:
motion create BWBloat
Add to your gemfile
Now build the project and lets inspect the executable with nothing added:
ls -lh build/iPhoneSimulator-8.1-Development/BWBloat.app/BWBloat
-rwxr-xr-x 2 ryan staff 3.8M Nov 3 13:01 build/iPhoneSimulator-8.1-Development/BWBloat.app/BWBloat
3.8MB for two architectures out of the gate.Now add
gem 'bubble-wrap', :github => 'rubymotion/BubbleWrap'
to your gemfile followed bybundle install && rake
ls -lh build/iPhoneSimulator-8.1-Development/BWBloat.app/BWBloat
-rwxr-xr-x 2 ryan staff 8.5M Nov 3 13:06 build/iPhoneSimulator-8.1-Development/BWBloat.app/BWBloat
We haven't written a single line of code yet and our current executable is now 8.5M. Sure, this is development build, but you can already see this is a serious issue. We haven't even included anything besides core yet. Obviously, this isn't exactly a BW problem, it's a rubymotion problem. At this point i would not advise anyone to use this library unless you completely understand what you have to give up.
